The exit of this escalator is facing the original door of the building. If the stone pillar in front was farther back, it would just block this exit. They would have no way to rely on this exit to get out. They can only say that there is no limit to the sky.

the road.

Su Yuxi first took out the trailer and the packed things, then went down and tied a rope around Cheng Xiaoyu's waist, and then slowly moved up with him. Cheng Xiaoyu used his hands behind to climb up with the help of Su Yuxi's strength, although

Although he took painkillers, his legs still suffered from excruciating pain one after another. The escalator was narrow and dark, and filled with the suffocating stench of corpses. Even though Cheng Xiaoyu was used to the stench, he still felt it several times.

I couldn't help but want to vomit, but when I heard Su Yuxi's call from above, I felt a little better.

When he climbed to the exit, he was already soaked to the skin, and Cheng Xiaoyu had no intention of complaining. After all, surviving was God's greatest kindness to him.

Su Yuxi went out first, stood at the maintenance entrance, held Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, and pulled him out of the escalator's maintenance passage. Then she carried him outside the hotel, and began to assemble the trailer prepared for Cheng Xiaoyu.

Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath of the gray air and said, "I'm so drunk. I didn't expect that one day I would feel that fresh air is so precious." Although the air on the ground is not very good, it is more complex than the smell underground.

The air is still much better.

Su Yuxi put on a mask and said, "Brother, the air is full of very fine dust, and there may be a lot of toxic substances. You'd better put on the mask."

Of course Cheng Xiaoyu would not disobey Su Yuxi and quickly put on the mask.

It was dusk at this time, and the city seemed dead. The bustling Ginza in the past was almost empty. Only the occasional sound made Cheng Xiaoyu feel that he and Su Yuxi were not the only two people left in the world.

The road was full of cracks and upturned stones. Countless cars were covered with dust and crowded on the road. Many cars were burned into wreckage.

Tokyo, which used to be exceptionally clean, is now in a mess. Stones, various papers, broken glass, and cement dust are all covered in the streets. Cheng Xiaoyu looked around and accidentally saw half of the corpse that was smashed by a huge stone, but

To him at this moment, such a scene was not so terrifying.

The once prosperous Ginza with tall buildings in the distance looks like it has been destroyed by a nuclear bomb. The few tall buildings that have not collapsed are slumped and seem to be on the verge of collapse. There are also many half-built buildings with fires still burning on the tops.

, like a huge torch, the whole sky was gray, heavy haze filled the sky over Tokyo, and black smoke was floating in the sky in many places, and even the sun not far away seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke.

Gray yarn.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked up and looked at the sun, which seemed to be cold, the sky was like a pool of silent stagnant water, and the narrow streets were crowded with two closely packed rows of broken vehicles of different sizes and styles.

Even though Tokyo is dilapidated, it is so orderly. Except for the houses on both sides of the street, even if they have not collapsed, they are no longer intact. They are full of stubborn cracks. Some of the cracks on the road have a few green grass growing sparsely, under the cold sunshine.

They trembled cautiously, as if they were telling people in a soft voice that this is not the destination, they are not the most beautiful and typical representatives here, and don't disturb your mood and make them look so sad and pathetic just because they don't have a decent appearance.

This is a desolate and desolate city. The sun slowly sets silently, and the apocalyptic scene in Tokyo presents a scene of beauty, which makes Cheng Xiaoyu's originally relaxed mood become heavy again.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Japan has the best disaster prevention capabilities in the world. After all, this is a country that once ranked second in terms of economic strength in the world. It is also a country that lives on the verge of death. Disaster prevention must be a top priority.

In the position of "National Destiny".

However, "manpower is sometimes poor." In the face of nature, some struggles are in vain.

In Cheng Xiaoyu's memory, the damage caused to Japan by the 311 magnitude 9.0 East Japan Earthquake in 2011 does not seem to be exaggerated. Most of the losses were caused by the tsunami.

But he had nothing to do underground, and after careful recall and research, he realized that it was not that the 9.0-magnitude earthquake was not lethal enough, but that the epicenter of the earthquake was located in the Pacific Ocean east of Miyagi Prefecture, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers under the sea.

The epicenter was far away from the three most severely affected prefectures: Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima. The actual earthquake intensity in these three prefectures was only seven. And the most important point is that this 9.0-magnitude earthquake was not

Direct earthquake. This is the biggest reason why the earthquake did not cause damage to East Japan.

According to the last text message he received, the earthquake that occurred in Tokyo was a 7:00 Level 2 direct earthquake. The epicenter was in Tokyo Bay, which is the Tokyo Inland Sea. You can imagine how close the epicenter was to Tokyo.

Not to mention the source of the earthquake, what Tokyo suffered this time was a direct earthquake. This type of earthquake is the most terrifying and direct threat to large cities. It will cause immeasurable damage, resulting in casualties, damage to social functions, and economic damage.

The losses will be much greater than those of "urban non-direct earthquakes".

Among them, the most typical urban direct earthquakes are the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake in China and the 1995 Hanshin Earthquake in Japan.

The 7.2-magnitude earthquake that occurred in southern Hyogo Prefecture, Japan on January 17, 1995 was a typical direct earthquake. It destroyed modern cities. In Kobe City alone, 2,000 buildings were destroyed, and Shinkansen and subway lines were bent.

Collapse, bridge decks, tunnels, highways, and viaducts were destroyed or broken, gas pipelines ruptured, gas leaks caused fires, large-scale power outages, water outages, communication interruptions, more than 5,000 people died, more than 200,000 were injured, and losses reached nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars.

For every level of earthquake, the destructive power increases 32 times. This second direct earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 was enough to destroy Tokyo.

Moreover, this was the third earthquake in a row. Although Cheng Xiaoyu did not receive a text message with the intensity of the last earthquake, from his experience, the last strong aftershock was much stronger than the first one with a magnitude of 7:2.

The seismic resistance level of Japanese buildings is mostly level eight. Continuous strong earthquakes, no matter how high the seismic resistance level is, it is useless. Of course, in fact, the solidity of Japanese buildings still plays a big role, otherwise the number of casualties will be even higher

fear.

Japanese earthquake experts have predicted that if the magnitude of this giant earthquake in the Kannankai Trough is 9.1, the tsunami wave height will exceed 20 meters, and most of the Kanto region will be submerged. Shizuoka Prefecture alone will have more than 10 earthquakes

Tens of thousands of casualties were reported, with the overall expected death toll exceeding at least 300,000.

Fortunately, this time it was only magnitude 8.5, but the situation was still very bad. In fact, there were two direct strong earthquakes in Tokyo this time, one with magnitude 7.2 and one with magnitude 8.5. These two strong earthquakes were enough to destroy the city.

Tokyo, disaster prevention can indeed effectively reduce the death toll at that time, but post-disaster rescue and reconstruction are very difficult.

Therefore, although more than ten days have passed, Tokyo at this time is not much safer than Cheng Xiaoyu and others underground.

Su Yuxi finished assembling the trailer, helped Cheng Xiaoyu up and sat down, and checked Cheng Xiaoyu's legs. Su Yuxi put on her bag, put on a cleaned mask, and walked forward. They had no choice but to walk towards the dome.

March over there.

Although Ginza is not very far from the Dome, they do not have a map, and Su Yuxi has not looked at the map carefully. She only glanced at it briefly, and the two of them pieced together something based on their respective memories.

First, they must find the Imperial Palace, because the Imperial Palace is between the Dome and Ginza.

The only sound on the quiet street was the sound of Su Yuxi's tow truck. Occasionally, people wearing masks and looking for something would turn their heads and stare at the two of them. This made the two of them feel unsafe. There were no soldiers on the street.

There were no police, and the shop windows on both sides had been smashed to pieces, and the contents inside had undoubtedly been looted.

This surprised Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi. They thought that there should be order outside. They didn't know that because of the nuclear accident in Ibaraki Prefecture, a large part of the Self-Defense Forces was mobilized to maintain the evacuation.

There are still some self-defense forces clearing obstacles outside Tokyo. To rescue, we must first clear and repair the roads, which is a long process.

Because the road was uneven and there were a lot of debris, although Su Yuxi had prepared a layer of mats on the trailer, Cheng Xiaoyu's butt still hurt from the bump, but he was already a little numb, and his whole body was hurting anyway.

He didn't care that his butt hurt a little. He felt very sorry for Su Yuxi. This was too much physical exertion for her, and her foot hadn't fully recovered yet. She had a thick bandage wrapped around her ankle today.

Because I had to drag things while climbing the elevator, the trousers I changed into were frayed at the knees, and there were thin drops of blood on the bruises.

During the break, Cheng Xiaoyu applied iodine on Su Yuxi and put on a few band-aids.

Not only was the journey difficult, the two of them were not familiar with the roads in Tokyo, and most of the street signs could not be found. Su Yuxi could only roughly identify the direction and walked towards the Imperial Palace. Along the way there were collapsed viaducts and pedestrian bridges that fell on the road.

, there are also occasional huge cracks in the ground, and twisted subway tracks, and the scattered pedestrians on the street seem to be walking dead.

Cheng Xiaoyu took out the water bottle and when he drank the water, he felt as if ten thousand eyes were looking at him. This made him shudder and quickly hid the water bottle.

The two of them walked really slowly. The trailer was not easy to use on the street full of obstacles. It was not as fast as carrying it on its back. However, Cheng Xiaoyu's leg injury was not suitable for carrying it on his back. Even with a splint, Su Yu

Xi was also afraid that Cheng Xiaoyu's bones would be displaced, so he had to go through all kinds of hardships and drag Cheng Xiaoyu away with a trailer.

After walking for more than three hours, at nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them arrived at Hibiya Park near the Imperial Palace. There were countless tents set up here, with occasional emergency lights, but most of them were lit by bonfires lit in oil barrels.

Because there was no electricity, the whole of Tokyo was immersed in ink-like darkness. Even if Su Yuxi turned on a flashlight, it was not suitable to move forward on the next journey.

Su Yuxi said: "Let's rest here tonight."

Cheng Xiaoyu arrived, and Su Yuxi dragged Cheng Xiaoyu towards the park. There were many people sleeping outside the tent, but everyone's expressions were numb, and no one looked at the brothers and sisters in distress.

Su Yuxi found a place not too far away from the bonfire bucket, straightened Cheng Xiaoyu's trailer, sat next to Cheng Xiaoyu and began to rest. There were people sleeping nearby covered with newspapers.

Su Yuxi asked in a low voice in Chinese: "Are you hungry? Brother."

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I'm not particularly hungry. What about you? You should be tired today."

Su Yuxi shook her head and said: "Such intensity is nothing. As for you, you should strengthen your exercise after your legs are healed! Follow me and run every day from now on!"

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, and Su Yuxi added: "It's not appropriate to eat now. I'll ask you to eat later."

Cheng Xiaoyu sighed and said: "It seems that the disaster relief situation in Tokyo is not optimistic. It has been more than ten days, and I feel that there is no progress in the rescue at all."

Su Yuxi said: "Because the roads, elevated roads, and traffic were completely destroyed, food and rescue were completely inaccessible, so we had to rely on airdrops from helicopters. Of course, in Japan, from the cabinet to various county-level, municipal-level, district-level, and town-level units, all

It has its own emergency plan. In normal times, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge will be promoted to every resident. Every resident knows the nearest shelter and hospital. They also know that when earthquakes and floods occur, they will be centered around your home.

The best escape route. However, although Tokyo’s shelters are dotted around, they are completely insufficient after a direct earthquake of magnitude 7 or above breaks out. Tokyo has a population of more than 13 million, according to the "Japan National Report" I have read.

" disclosed that it is an established fact that most people cannot enter shelters. The "National Report" predicts that if an earthquake of magnitude 7 or above occurs in 23 wards of Tokyo, at least 600,000 people will be unable to enter shelters."

Cheng Xiaoyu said with emotion: "Six hundred thousand people are very few compared to 13 million. Japan has done a good job in this regard."

Su Yuxi said softly: "But this avoids an extremely serious problem, that is, those who have difficulty returning home. There are a large number of people working in the city center, and when the transportation facilities cannot operate, there are at least 6.5 million people.

People are trapped in place, and they can only choose to walk home. The streets will become more crowded than the subway, and most of them will be without water and food. This will double the pressure on the shelters along the way, so it is estimated that

600,000 people cannot enter shelters. This number is very inaccurate. Because a large number of people live in counties and cities around Tokyo, they have to walk for two days to return home, and shelters are the last protection for people.

land. But this is currently an insurmountable difficulty."

Cheng Xiaoyu still smiled easily and said: "It seems that we are still far away from being rescued." In his opinion, as long as we come out, it will be easy to survive.

Su Yuxi said: "There shouldn't be a big problem. I think Xu Qinning and the others should be saved. My dad and Xu Qinning's dad won't let it go. This is the benefit of having power and money. They will definitely be there

The shelter in the dome has left the rescuers." Although Su Yuxi was very knowledgeable about events, she did not expect that a nuclear leak would occur.
